I don’t usually like deceitful heroines but it was kind of revealed early on so whatever.
Characters were somewhat indecisive but their antics were fun.
Well, it was fun to read.

I didn’t like it much,although it started interesting ,the plot was diluted more and more and towards the middle I didn’t care about it because it dragged and became predictable.
There were many repetitive sentences about how great was the main character and in general everything was only shown or told ,not in many dialogues and good writing like on her other medieval stories. Overall it was a disappointing read ,even from historical part of view and the mystery was zero so I had to skim the last half ,because it was so boring.
